    Biochemistry 48:12290-7. 2009
    ..Taken together, these results indicate that the 6P/6D isoforms are potential endogenous inhibitors of tau filament formation and suggest a mechanism by which this ability may be disrupted in disease...

    J Neurosci 31:9858-68. 2011
    ..Results from these studies reveal a novel role for tau in modulating axonal phosphotransferases and provide a molecular basis for a toxic gain-of-function associated with pathogenic forms of tau...
